Emilio GuerraThis church, run by the Dominican Fathers, is a pastiche of Gothic Revival architecture. This is the third church built on the site, including the predecessor, built in 1869. Four decades later, the parish wanted a new building in Gothic Revival, but all proposals were rejected because they came to resemble mini-versions of St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Church of St. Vincent Ferrer
Goodhue steps in
In 1914, St. Thomas Episcopal Church had just been finished a few blocks away. There, master craftsman Bertram Goodhue had obtained amazing verticality in a cramped space, renovating Gothic Revival. Impressed, the Dominican Fathers assigned the design of the new church to him and were quite happy with the ensuing combination of Gothic. St. Vincent Ferrer was finished in 1918.
